First exhibition for Nicole Stott's space art

A former astronaut with strong Manx links has come to the Island for the first exhibition of her work.

Nicole Stott is the wife of MannSat CEO Chris Stott and whilst the pair live in America, they were married at St Peters church in Onchan.

Nicole spent over 100 days on the International Space Station and during that time used a small set of watercolours to try and capture some of the amazing views.

Now retired from NASA, she's hoping to share her experiences through her artwork and inspire an interest in space exploration and its benefits

The exhibition at the Sayle Gallery in Douglas runs until June 26th
